Annotation : Includes bibliographical references and indexes "Semantic studies of the Biblical Hebrew verb 'shlm' have been influenced by those of its most invoked nominal form 'shalom'. In this volume Andrew Chin Hei Leong shows that the concepts of balance, alliance, and completeness form the basic semantic structure of 'shlm'. Previous studies on 'shlm' employed either historical or textual methodology, which has been dominant in biblical lexical studies. In addition to these methods, in Leong develops a systematic semantic methodology from Cognitive Semantics and Frame Semantics, to demonstrate that it is balance, rather than completeness, that is the most central concept in holding the semantic network together"--

Annotation : includes bibliographical references (pages [521]-538) and index When America began to emerge as a world power at the end of the nineteenth century, Italy was a young nation, recently unified. The technological advances brought about by electricity and the combustion engine were vastly speeding up the capacity of news, ideas, and artefacts to travel internationally. Furthermore, improved literacy and social reforms had produced an Italian working class with increased time, money, and education. At the turn of the century, if Italy's ruling elite continued the tradition of viewing Paris as a model of sophistication and good taste, millions of lowly-educated Italians began to dream of America, and many bought a transatlantic ticket to migrate there.By the 1920s, Italians were encountering America through Hollywood films and, thanks to illustrated magazines, they were mesmerised by the sight of Manhattan's futuristic skyline and by news of American lifestyle. The USA offered a model of modernity which flouted national borders and spoke to all. It could be snubbed, adored, or transformed for one's personal use, but it could not be ignored.Perversely, Italy was by then in the hands of a totalitarian dictatorship, Mussolini's Fascism. What were the effects of the nationalistic policies and campaigns aimed at protecting Italians from this supposedly pernicious foreign influence? What did Mussolini think of America? Why were jazz, American literature, and comics so popular, even as the USA became Italy's political enemy?

Annotation : Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-235) and index Being Born -- Childish Things -- The Mess -- Epilogue "Becoming Human argues that human identity was articulated and extended across a wide range of textual, visual, and artifactual assemblages from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries. J. Allan Mitchell shows how the formation of the child expresses a manifold and mutable style of being. To be human is to learn to dwell among a welter of things. A searching and provocative historical inquiry into human becoming, the book presents a set of idiosyncratic essays on embryology and infancy, play and games, and manners, meals, and other messes. While it makes significant contributions to medieval scholarship on the body, family, and material culture, Becoming Human theorizes anew what might be called a medieval ecological imaginary. Mitchell examines a broad array of phenomenal objects--including medical diagrams, toy knights, tableware, conduct texts, dream visions, and scientific instruments--and in the process reanimates distinctly medieval ontologies. In addressing the emergence of the human in the later Middle Ages, Mitchell identifies areas where humanity remains at risk. In illuminating the past, he shines fresh light on our present"--

The book incarnate -- The hand in the history of the book -- Written on the flesh -- Book burial -- Ghost in the book. The book after the French Revolution -- The smartphone inside our heads -- Heresy and modernity -- Glyph "Bibliophobia is a personal meditation on the 5,000-year history of writing and of books, from the perspective of the smartphone. Its starting point is the contemporary idea of 'the death of the book', embodied not only in the replacement of the physical book by digital media, but in the accompanying twenty-first-century experience of paranoia and of literary apocalypse. It traces a twin fear of omniscience and oblivion right back to the origins of writing in ancient Sumeria and Egypt, and then forwards to the age of Google. It covers examples of bibliophobia from the first Chinese emperor to Nazi Germany, alongside a parallel story of bibliomania and bibliolatry within world religions and literatures. Using examples from six continents, it discusses topics such as the origins and decipherment of different kinds of human script; the development of textual media such as scrolls, codices, printed books, and artificial intelligence; the collection and destruction of libraries; the use of books as holy objects, talismans, and shrines; and the history of slavery, heresy, blasphemy, censorship, and persecution. Originating as the Clarendon Lectures in the Faculty of English at the University of Oxford, the methods of Bibliophobia range across book history; comparative religion; philosophy from Plato to Hegel and Freud; and a wide range of global literature from ancient to contemporary. Richly illustrated with manuscripts, printed objects, and art works, at its heart is the power that books always (and continue to) have in the emotional, spiritual, bodily, and imaginative life of readers."--Provided by publisher

Annotation : Includes bibliographical references and index "H.C. ten Berge (1938) is de schrijver van een even veelzijdig als samenhangend oeuvre, waarvan poëzie de wezenskern vormt. In het jaar waarin hij zijn vijfentachtigste verjaardag viert, betreedt zijn schrijverschap het zevende decennium: van zijn debuutbundel Poolsneeuw (1964) tot en met Een kinderoog (2022). Ten Berge ontving een groot aantal literaire prijzen, waaronder de Constantijn Huygens-prijs en de P.C. Hooft-prijs voor zijn gehele oeuvre. In 1967 richtte hij het sterk op de internationale literatuur gerichte tijdschrift Raster op, waarvan hij lange tijd de enige redacteur was. Het H.C. ten Berge handboek belicht de grote spanwijdte van het werk en vertelt aan de hand daarvan ook een belangrijk deel van de geschiedenis van de literatuur in Nederland vanaf de jaren zestig van de 20ste eeuw. Behalve voor de afzonderlijke dichtbundels is er aandacht voor zijn proza, essays en vertalingen. De poëzie van Ten Berge wordt bovendien geplaatst in de traditie van modernisme, antropologie en mystiek. Op die manier wil het handboek een inleiding en naslagwerk zijn bij het oeuvre van deze uitzonderlijke schrijver. Voor de eerste keer wordt dat oeuvre in zijn totaliteit beschouwd door een keur aan specialisten.

De poëzie van Ten Berge wordt bovendien geplaatst in de traditie van modernisme, antropologie en mystiek. Op die manier wil het handboek een inleiding en naslagwerk zijn bij het oeuvre van deze uitzonderlijke schrijver. Voor de eerste keer wordt dat oeuvre in zijn totaliteit beschouwd door een keur aan specialisten. Met bijdragen van John Heymans, Pieter Verstraeten, Sander Bax, August Hans den Boef, Johan Reijmerink, Dirk De Geest, Johan Sonnenschein, Mathijs Sanders, Erik Lindner, Ronald Ohlson, Lisa Rooijackers, Geertjan de Vugt, Yves T'Sjoen, Piet Gerbrandy, Aede de Jong, John Heymans, Patrick Peeters, Cyriel Offermans, Jooris Van Hulle, Hans Puper, Bertram Mourits, Jaap Goedegebuure, Liesje Schreuders, Gerrit-Jan Zwier, Onno Kosters, Lodewijk Verduin, Hans Purper en Pleuke Boyce."-- General characterization: text; unmediated; volume

These homilies are among the earliest extant examples of patristic preaching on the Psalter.

These homilies provide a glimpse of Origen's account of scriptural meaning, outlined in De principiis 4, in pastoral practice. In his preaching, Origen offers a vision of the Christian life as centered on the soul's continuing conversion, growth, and progress, with particular reference to and within the context of the Church. The life of the believer is one of combat and struggle with powers opposed to Christ. It is Christ, as the divine Physician, who offers healing to the one who is wounded and ailing from sin, and it is Christ, as Wisdom and Word of God, who instructs and educates the believer in the life of the Spirit. These homilies reveal the substantial coherence of Origen's thought, as expressed in the more speculative De principiis and as revealed in the more elaborate, nuptial theology found in his Commentary on the Canticle.

This method, Cooper argues, can be used to expose serious flaws in Kant's own historical reasoning, including the formation and defence of his racist views.

The contributions proceed from the second international workshop of the biblical Hebrew Linguistics and Philology network (www.BHLaP.wordpress.com), initiated in 2017 to bring together theoretical linguists and Hebraists in order to reinvigorate the study of biblical Hebrew grammar. Recent linguistic theory is applied to the study of the ancient language, and results in innovative insight into pausal forms, prosodic dependency, ordinal numeral syntax, ellipsis, the infinitive system, light verbs, secondary predicates, verbal semantics of the Hiphil binyan, and hybrid constructions"-- General characterization: text; unmediated; volume

"The conjunction of medieval religious studies and gender studies in the past several decades has produced not only nuanced attention to medieval mystics and religious thinkers, but a transformation in the study of medieval culture more broadly. This volume showcases new investigations of mysticism and religious writing in the Middle Ages and the early modern period. It also presents groundbreaking explorations of the feminized divine, from medieval to modern, and the many debts of medieval secular texts and cultures to the religious world that surrounded them. Medieval crossover also defines this volume: the contributors examine the crossovers between male and female, cloister and saeculum, divine and human, and vernacular and Latin that characterized so much of the complexity of medieval literary culture. These collected chapters examine mystics from Hildegard of Bingen and Juliana of Cornillon to Richard Rolle, Julian of Norwich, and Tomás de Jesús; the modern theologies of Philip K. Dick and Charles Williams; goddesses like Fame, Dame Courtesy, and Mother Church; and the role of religious belief in shaping conceptions of pacifism, obscenity, authorship, and bodily integrity. Together, they show the extraordinary impact of Barbara Newman's scholarship across a range of fields and some of the new areas of investigation opened by her work

Born of rancour, anger, desire, love, envy, or just out of desperation, curse tablets were a strategy for obtaining "individual justice" for those who could not accomplish their purposes through the available means, due to a lack of knowledge, power or legal/economical resources.

Annotation : Includes bibliographical references (pages 549-564) and index "Hoewel al langer bekend is dat de Indonesische onafhankelijkheidsoorlog veel gewelddadiger was dan algemeen door het Nederlandse publiek werd aangenomen, domineerde lange tijd de neiging om de omvang en de aard van dit geweld te relativeren, te negeren of te rechtvaardigen. 'Talen van geweld' onderzoekt hoe politici en bestuurders in Nederland en Indonesië zijn omgegaan met het grootschalig geweld, en stelt pijnlijke vragen. Hoe werden het oorlogsgeweld en de talrijke uitwassen in de jaren 1945-1949 besproken, verzwegen, doorgegeven, gemanipuleerd en politiek gebruikt? Wat wisten de Nederlandse, koloniale en Indonesische politici en bestuurders over de aard van het optreden van de eigen en vijandelijke troepen? Hoe kwam het dat onderzoek naar specifieke schandalen vastliep of dat de uitkomsten ervan voor het publiek verborgen bleven? Wat deden verantwoordelijke personen met hun kennis en hoe beïnvloedde de communicatie het publieke draagvlak voor de oorlogvoering?

ISBN 94-6372-688-8 ((paperback)) ISBN 978-94-6372-688-7 ((paperback)) CONTENTS "Hoewel al langer bekend is dat de Indonesische onafhankelijkheidsoorlog veel gewelddadiger was dan algemeen door het Nederlandse publiek werd aangenomen, domineerde lange tijd de neiging om de omvang en de aard van dit geweld te relativeren, te negeren of te rechtvaardigen. 'Talen van geweld' onderzoekt hoe politici en bestuurders in Nederland en Indonesië zijn omgegaan met het grootschalig geweld, en stelt pijnlijke vragen. Hoe werden het oorlogsgeweld en de talrijke uitwassen in de jaren 1945-1949 besproken, verzwegen, doorgegeven, gemanipuleerd en politiek gebruikt? Wat wisten de Nederlandse, koloniale en Indonesische politici en bestuurders over de aard van het optreden van de eigen en vijandelijke troepen? Hoe kwam het dat onderzoek naar specifieke schandalen vastliep of dat de uitkomsten ervan voor het publiek verborgen bleven? Wat deden verantwoordelijke personen met hun kennis en hoe beïnvloedde de communicatie het publieke draagvlak voor de oorlogvoering? Remco Raben en Peter Romijn betogen dat de manier waarop lang naar de oorlog in Indonesië is gekeken mede zijn oorsprong heeft in de taal en de manipulatie van informatie tijdens de oorlog."-- General characterization: text; unmediated; volume
